Looking for color suggestions

2 years ago

My small galley kitchen walls are painted Behr chai. I want to get new cabinets, counter and backsplash. I'm thinking of medium greige for the cabinets and a gray and tan counter and backsplash to tie the walls and cabinets together. Would that work? Any other suggestions? I would really like white cabinets, but I would probably hate them after a month of constant cleaning. Thanks.

I have white cabinets and they dont get super dirty. They are mdf with veneer pretty smooth satin/eggshell like finish.

Sorry I've been AWOL. Didn't mean to ignore my own thread! Wow! I love those greens, Misty! Do they happen to have names? LOL! That would be too easy! What is the color on the wall now? If you like the golden effect, just more subtle, you can go up 2-3 shades on the same card The gold in the two pics I shared is what we currently have and it was the lightest shade on the card. I do have a chip with Warm Muffin on it that I have been thinking about...but now that I see some of those greens I might have to change my mind. Thanks for all the input!! Kristy :)

Hardi-plank and stone - looking for color/style suggestions

I like the front per the plan with board and batten with the stone. On the sides, you can do lap Hardie with or without the batten in the gables. We have cedar shake on the front and the shake wraps on the sides over the entire garage and the east patio area. Where we hit the main house body sides, we converted to Hardie lap siding (including the back). We have a lot of landscape on the sides so the transition isn't noticeable to our neighbors. The 2nd photo was taken right after the landscape was done on that side. Now, the vine is up the obelisk and the shrubs are big so that the transition is less noticeable. As for color, our house is a sage/grey solid stain (not paint). We are in full sun with a south exposure on the front (passive solar). I had originally wanted to do a dark brown solid stain, but we decided to go with this color because we had used on a previous house and knew it worked. Hope this helps, Cameron

Congratulations on new home, it is a very nice looking house. The trim is all fine the way it is. On that style of house, it is better to leave the trim blend into the siding, just like it is now.. The door, well, that definitely needs to be painted. If it were my house, the door would be a darker shade of teal. Your house definitely needs some landscaping. The lattice showing doesnt look great, but, plantings will take care of that problem.

look at Coretec in Manila Oak Calypso Oak is another close one to your cabinets Hayes Oak is lighter and cooler Darker_ Coretec Midway Oak LVP 7" Makkah Oak color BTW, for the price of this vinyl, you could easily do engineered wood flooring and have a better investment. Wood floors, the right kind, do just fine w/kids and pets.
